Show The Claim or The Tailors. "No two men. even of exact height nnd weight," said a prominent New York tailor the other day to a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter, "can 'wear tho same clothes and be tit. If the measurement were exactly the same, which it never is. they couldn't do it. Why? Now, I don't know; but I have found it to be a fact. The measurement for a pair of trousers, for instance, might be exactly exact-ly the same, yet one mau will have to be allowed from one to three inches more length in the legs than the other. The man who is naturally stout or fat, and the man who has grown fat late in life, may look and even measure exactly exact-ly alike, but the same cut of cloth will never lit both. Herein lies tho great art ot tailoriug. The variations iu the construction of the human body are j marvelous. Now, the man who has I just left he is a minister of the gospel. He must have his clothes to fit him and 1 fit bis business. His armpits, shoulder i blades nud arms do not correspond with those of any other man, nor does tho right side correspond with the left. He probably gestures a good deal with the right hand. He doesn't know that that j arm is fully an inch longer than the ; other. This structural difference in i men is more general than you would j imagine." |
